New Clay Shotgun in the House.

[dak47]

The Wife wants to join me with sporting clays, so she shouldered lots of shotguns at Brileys last Saturday with pro help, while I snooped future purchases.

She settled on this 20GA Ethos, Benelli has nice attention to detail with lots of shims, front beads, very nice padded case, 5 flush chokes
with the IC installed. Feels very nice in the hands and shoulders nice, yes inertia but has a Progressive Comfort system on it, we shall see.....

Brileys?

Never heard of these guys.

They make all kinds of things for shotguns as well as gunsmithing,chokes,tube sets for changing gauges. Look them up, they do fantastic work and are world renowned. Great to do business with!!

We are blessed with green cards and an our original house in BC along with a place on the Gulf Coast. The sporting clays courses are truly amazing, we belong to the Western Sporting Grounds outside of Katy.

You are one of the luckiest men alive. Enjoy it to the fullest while you can. Mine joined me in IDPA and long range shooting many moons ago. Be prepared for the day she out shoots you and wins a trophy. Just saying.

Thought he was talking about a gunshop in Canada. Not the choke manufacturer.

I was in their store a number of years ago and they didn't really have a lot in there at that time, mostly choke tubes and other shotgun accessories. A tour of the shop would have been pretty cool though!

Mine shoots, hunts and fishes with me and bought me a 20ga SX3....cost me a Beretta A400 20ga and a Perazzi TM1 though! I should have just bought the SX3 myself!

Missing Y’all also, just couldn’t get it to work anymore?!? Will revisit…….

Our son flew down this week, so we took him and had a blast today. The Wife shot her very first two sets of 10, got two on her first and three on her second, but she didn’t have a grip on the very first shot and it slapped her in the cheek pretty good, so I didn’t want her to push it and start getting a flinch. She’s feisty and knows a little more now of what she needs to do.

I tell you, there is something to this 20GA thing for me, I did well with my CXS previously and could do no wrong with the Ethos today, never missed once in 20 clays, but yes an easy course. The boy and I went thru 140 rounds each, even powdering a few on the more difficult green course, him with my 686 and me on the A400 both in 12GA.

Thinking on my next trip, l’m leaving the A400 12GA behind and just taking a 20GA and see what my actual score comes in at…….
